GALLERY 44

Gallery 44 is closed for the rest of August! However, In My Dreams, I Held You Close, an exhibition in the Vitrines from Rahim Perez-Anderson will remain on view until September 3!

In My Dreams, I Held You Close is a growing exploration of emotional intimacy, gesture, and connection between the artist and his two brothers; Nathan and Jare. This project illuminates the current state of their relationship, which is undefined and rigid, and how themes such as vulnerability, love, and bond have not yet been manifested.

This exhibition is presented in partnership with VIBE Arts.

Today is the last day to visit Almanac! Come peruse what Gallery 44 members have been working on this past year.

Almanac, is an annual member-run exhibition (formerly 365) in the Main Gallery surveying the work of over 120 artists within the membership. An almanac brings to mind seasons, celestial cycles and terrestrial forecasts—an assembly of disparate pieces of information, once seemingly disconnected, converge to bring new patterns to light—presenting observations of the past with anticipation for the future. Each contributing Gallery 44 member chose an image—they are proud of, interested in, working with, or working through; a visual compilation of observations, thoughts, themes, inspirations and curiosities—to represent the past year.

A big thank you to co-curators, G44 member Shaney Herrmann and Head of Membership and Facilities, Heather Fulton-and to all the exhibiting members who shared the developments within their practices with us!

Two days remain to visit unfixed in the Members’ Gallery before it closes on Saturday, August 3!

In My Dreams, I Held You Close is a growing exploration of emotional intimacy, gesture, and connection between myself and my two brothers; Nathan and Jare. This project illuminates the current state of our relationship, undefined and rigid, and how themes such as vulnerability, love, and bond have not yet manifested. The reality of not being able to remember a time when I’ve hugged either of my brothers, no matter the context, drives me to develop our relationship further. A world where men can be emotionally intimate with one another, free of judgement, is the world I envision for us.

The capability of emotional intimacy among men across several intersectionalities has been lost due to preconceived notions of hypermasculinity, homophobia, and racism. As a result, the dismissal of these intimate traits has limited the possibilities of our relationship. This leaves us tending only to speak about matters external to each other; media, video games, and hardly about our emotions or experiences. However, by (re)-positioning ourselves through this work we are prompted to be vulnerable and open – open, which may be the first step towards healing what we already have, eachother.

The poetic title for this project—In My Dreams, I Held You Close—can seemingly be read as a promise to my brothers: “dreaming” of a world in which we can be vulnerable, emotionally expressive, and truly limitless together. This is only the beginning of discovering ourselves, the ones we dream we could be. Time does not forgive, so love one another while we are all still here.

Almanac, an annual member-run exhibition presenting a non-juried survey of artwork created by Gallery 44 members in the past year opens in the Main Gallery from July 19 - August 3, 2024.

An almanac brings to mind seasons, celestial cycles and terrestrial forecasts—an assembly of disparate pieces of information, once seemingly disconnected, converge to bring new patterns to light—presenting observations of the past with anticipation for the future.

In this survey of images, there is something suspended between them—something that is just out of reach—our eyes looking for patterns, our minds wanting to rest on a theme to bind them together—a satisfying mystery: in obscured faces and hazy silhouettes, in glowing orbs of light, in abstraction and in eerie portals that beckon us in.

But what truly connects these images is the fact that they were chosen. Each contributing Gallery 44 member chose an image—they are proud of, interested in, working with, or working through; a visual compilation of observations, thoughts, themes, inspirations and curiosities—to represent the past year. It is a record of seemingly tangential pieces that coalesce into a greater whole to describe our collective past, to help us understand our present, a premonition of what may come based on what has been.

If this almanac shows us what comes next, we are so excited to see it.

Proof Open Call for Submissions is now live! Deadline: September 27, 2024
Proof is Gallery 44’s annual group exhibition of work by emerging* Canadian artists, reflecting a range of current concerns and practices in contemporary photography and lens-based media. Proof is often one of the first exhibitions in a professional context for an emerging artist. Past exhibitions have featured work by Kotama Bouabane, Leila Fatemi, Isabelle Hayeur, Anique Jordan, Lotus Laurie Kang, Germaine Koh, Luther Konadu, Meryl McMaster, Karice Mitchell, Elise Rasmussen, and Althea Thauberger. Proof 31 will take place in early summer with an opening date in June 2025.

The submissions received through the Proof open call are juried by members of Gallery 44’s Exhibitions Programming Committee (EPC). The committee is composed of Gallery 44 staff, Board, members and community volunteers. Every submission is considered. Together, the jurors create a shortlist, discuss and then decide on the successful applications.

‍To apply, visit the link in our bio to fill out our submission form with the required materials. Late applications will not be considered.

*Emerging artists are defined as being in the early stages of their professional career, have produced a small body of work and achieved some local recognition and/or have limited public exhibition experience. Generally, they have had between 0 and 5 years of professional arts practice.

Gallery 44 is pleased to share preliminary reflections on artistic research, the third essay from 2023-2024 Writer-in-Residence Weiyi Chang.

“Writing, whether it occurs on the horizontal plane of the page or the vertical plane of the screen, subjugates the amorphous, diaphanous clouds of thought that comprise the mental realm to the orderly arena of the page, with its time honoured rules about grammar, sentence and paragraph construction, its rigid constraints on punctuation, tense and tone, its linearity and causal relations, its collective, embedded histories. Putting pen to paper, or hands to keyboard, is perhaps the exemplary instance of externalized cognition; writing is inextricable from the action of thought. On the page, ideas are circumscribed in words and sentences and paragraphs that can be rearranged, deleted, scratched out, reworded for clarity and precision, or transformed into wholly novel uses of language and thus meaning; through the act of writing, thoughts are not merely recorded but come into being.

The material experimentation undertaken by artists likewise constitutes a kind of cognitive extension, substituting the pen with, for example, the camera or even the arrangement of objects and subjects that comprise a photographic composition. In the case of Soft Turns, their approach to artistic and material research often embraces the processual rhythms of more-than-human entities, engaging the more-than-human in a dynamic act of collective cognition.”

The entire essay is available on G44's website below.

2024 marks the 30th edition of Proof—Gallery 44's annual emerging artist exhibition, established in 1994—in celebration, Proof Yearbook shares the program's legacy and archive on view in the Vitrines and online. The exhibition began as Latent Images in 1987, pulling emerging artists' works from a general call for submissions. In 1993, Gallery 44 held its first call specifically soliciting submissions from emerging artists. Met with an overwhelming response, the gallery's Exhibition Selection Committee created a non-thematic, national forum to platform artists working in unconventional materials and photographic processes to reflect current concerns and practices of emerging Canadian photographers.

Thirty years later, Proof remains true to its roots.

The archival project includes exhibition catalogues and documentation from 1987-2024 and a preface interweaving an introductory text written in 1999 by Sara Angelucci, Gallery 44’s Executive Director at the time (and Proof 5 alumna) and response by current Executive Director Alana Traficante ruminating on the program’s lasting impact on emergent image-making practices.

How to treat an image: Manipulating Personal Archives
Instructor: Ernesto Cabral de Luna

In-person Workshop
April 28,12:00 — 3:00PM

Experiment with personal and found archives as visual representations of memory and manipulation as a tool for self-reinvention. Participants will learn techniques to transform archival photographs into canvases for personal narratives using materials including copper, glass and fine art paper.

No prior experience is necessary to participate and all materials will be provided. Participants will need to send 3-4 archival photographs by April 17. These images will serve as the foundation for creating 1-3 final works. Participants are encouraged to bring their own objects and surfaces to transfer images onto, and explore the advantages and challenges of working with different materials.

Space is limited, to register visit:

NEW! How to treat an image: Manipulating Personal Archives Workshop with Ernesto Cabral de Luna . Experiment with personal and found archives through exploring manipulation through the multi-dimensional and material aspects of images.

With Salon 44’s opening next week, Board member Kate Wivell selects Hannah Doucet’s Sparkling, Shimmering, Protective and Plastic from the series A Wish Stays With You as her highlight! Join us on March 7, 7:00 - 10:00PM—in celebrating an incredible collection of over 60 established and emerging artists—representing the best in Canadian photography!

In anticipation of her exhibition opening in November at Gallery 44, Hannah Doucet’s contribution to this year’s edition of Salon 44 offers a glimpse into the evolution of her ongoing project A Wish Stays With You.

A recipient of the 2023 New Generation Photography Award, Doucet’s practice draws on her encounters with wish-granting agencies as a child living with a critical illness, exploring the visual language of non-profit healthcare and wellness marketing campaigns rampant with toxic positivity.

Philanthropic narratives are often reductive, demanding of beneficiaries and benefactors alike seamless one-dimensionality and requisite optimism. Where lived experiences of illness, trauma and disability are infinitely more complex, Doucet holds space for nuance and uncertainty through the subversion of these saccharine conventions.

The central element in this assemblage is a young portrait of the artist, sick with cancer, sleeping on a makeshift bed in her parents’ room. A personal memento that could easily be co-opted, Doucet reclaims agency over her image by shrouding it in a veil of plastic gems. While this gesture frustrates a sympathetic gaze, it is also incredibly generous, inviting us to reflect on the specificity and sacredness of our own vulnerable lives in a culture that prefers to simplify and easily consume.

Apart from all that, it also includes a beautifully executed artist-made frame, which I absolutely adore!

With Salon 44 right around the corner, Alana Traficante, G44’s Executive Director selects Beau Gomez’s ‘Tree Berries’ as her top pick for this year’s Salon 44. Salon 44 Online opens March 7!

Beau Gomez’s Tree Berries is a 120mm archival print on silk—a material he describes as “delicate, seductive, fragile, susceptible”—that in the larger context of his El Angel installation, (Artspace 2022) was shown alongside an audiovisual dialogue between friends. They spoke of kinship, queerness, identity, upbringing, and shared vulnerabilities. Against this backdrop, the smooth properties of silk provided an apt surface for the tender, gestural bearing of the image, and responded to soft environmental changes in the gallery, like the gentle wind of a passerby.

Beau is a portraitist at heart, who uses image-making and storytelling as conduits between one person’s experiences and another. This image harkens to a hot but breezy coastal summer, steeped in the memory of warm, intimate exchanges. At first captured in a moment of friends building bonds while traveling together, then set against the soundscape of their dialogues, the photograph still imbues all these resonances, alive with affective tenderness and closeness.

As one of three artists selected for Gallery 44’s forthcoming exhibition Proof 30, Beau Gomez, alongside Michaëlle Sergile and Morgan Sears-Williams, will be celebrated in G44’s 30th annual group exhibition of work by emerging Canadian artists—a program that highlights Gallery 44’s long-standing commitment to advance the careers of emerging artists—in June 2024.
